A deadly attack in Borno State's Kala-Balge Local Government Area has claimed the lives of a local vigilante commander and four civilians, while leaving several others injured. The assault on the Wumbi community, traditionally deserted due to ongoing insurgent attacks, was orchestrated by suspected Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists.
The vigilante commander, who posed a threat to their operations, was targeted specifically. Despite most farmers escaping, the commander remained to confront the assailants, ultimately succumbing to their attack. Upon discovering the commander's remains, more civilians and security personnel were killed when buried explosives detonated.
Borno State Police confirmed the incident, while a local politician expressed condolences to the affected families.
